C&C Moves

Eighty-four people have rated C&C Moves on Google, and they land at 4.3 — a respectable number for a small North Shore outfit, and the clearest thing anyone shopping for movers has to go on. The company is based in Beverly and built around residential and small-business moves; a business writeup describing it names Charlie Curcuru as the person behind it. That owner-led shape shows up in what people say about the company: the name that keeps surfacing in write-ups is Charlie's own, both from customers who found him easy to reach and from at least one who felt let down. That split is the part worth pausing on. Alongside the positive mentions sits a blistering account on one aggregator page from a customer who says the owner agreed to everything she asked for and warned others to stay away. It's a single voice against a much larger pool of Google ratings, and it carries no date, so it shouldn't outweigh the broader picture — but it is a specific complaint about being told yes too easily, and it points at exactly the question to ask up front. So before booking, get the scope in writing: what the crew will and won't move, the truck and headcount you're paying for, and what happens if the job runs longer than quoted. Movers in Massachusetts aren't home-improvement contractors, so there's no HIC registration to look up here; the things to confirm instead are insurance coverage and whether the estimate is binding. For a straightforward house or apartment move on the North Shore — Beverly, Salem, Peabody and out toward Ipswich and Essex — this is a plausible call, with a rating deep enough to be meaningful. Just pin the details down before moving day rather than after.
